ABSTRACT:
An assembly and a method for producing an endless transmission belt is disclosed herein. The assembly comprises an open-ended belt of indeterminate length made of a thermoplastic elastomer and having reinforcing means extending through the entire length thereof. The belt is cut to a required length and its two ends are connected in a permanent joint to form an endless transmission belt. The assembly further comprises joining means to produce the permanent joint, which joining means is in the form of an elongated splicing member made of a thermoplastic elastomer and having reinforcing means extending through at least a major portion of the length thereof. The splicing member is introducible, in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the belt, into a recessed zone of limited longitudinal extent providable in both end portions of the belt, and is permanently bondable to the belt. When the splicing member is thus introduced into, and bonded to, the belt, the reinforcing means of the splicing member are substantially co-planar with the reinforcing means of the belt.
